The episode opens in a long wooden hall lined with pedestals, each one marking an area and the wool it holds. The deaths sidebar opens at Scoti_Garbidis 83 and BasketMC 60, the same as the end of Episode 61. One of them asks the obvious question: "Do we know which one's next, is it the gray wool here?"
Shoe shopping
The signs read "Area: Ninja Academy [Pink Wool]," "Area: Reptilian Stronghold [Gray Wool]" and "Area: Trinity Caves [Purple Wool]." The pink one has a pair of leather boots in its item frame. "So all we have to do is we have to fight leather boots, guys." The other one has a better idea of the job: "It's shoe shopping simulator."
Speed, jump boost and no blocks
Inside, Basket's inventory shows Speed and Jump Boost IV. The welcome text gets read aloud, and it says "this area can be defeated without placing a single block." What they don't have is anything to soften a fall. "I have speed and jump boost, and I have no feather falling." The jumps over the pit go about as well as that sounds. "I'm really far down somewhere else, and healing up."
Fallen Ninjas
The pit is full of spawners and skeletons, and the ninjas keep coming. Chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis was slain by Fallen Ninja" and the sidebar moves Scoti to 84. A couple of minutes later the same line comes up again, and Scoti goes to 85. "Man, I was doin' good, too."
Basket's turn comes on a wooden floor beside a burning spawner. A mob tagged "Fallen Ninja" closes in, the hearts drain to nothing, and chat reads "BasketMC was slain by Fallen Ninja." Basket goes to 61 and teleports back to Intersection 2.
After the respawn, a large chest holds the gear they need back. "Pants is what I need. Okay, I got it. And boots."
Ninja gear
The loot keeps getting more ninja. Basket's inventory shows a Ninja Cap (Protection III, Projectile Protection I, +7% Speed), and a chest holds the Burning Splinter, a sword with Smite II and Fire Aspect III. One of them notices the set adds up: "With all this ninja stuff I'm having on, it keeps increasing my speed even more."
The bonus challenge
Past a bridge sits a glass door with a chest and a sign. The book they read out is a bonus challenge: "You only have a few minutes to complete the challenge and grab the loot. If you are too slow, the precious loot will be destroyed by a massive explosion." Basket's inventory shows a Splash Potion of Swiftness, and Speed II is running when they go in.
It falls apart fast. "Oh boy, I fell. I'm going back, you keep on going." Then: "There's fence post for part of the floor, I just fell through it." The floor below is slow and crowded. "It's slow sand. And zombies everywhere." Then the timer runs out. "Okay, the loot just blew up." One of them calls it "an epic fail on our part," and right at the end chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis withered away." Scoti goes to 86.
The sidebar opens at Scoti_Garbidis 83 and BasketMC 60 and closes at 86 and 61, with four deaths this episode: two Fallen Ninjas and a wither for Scoti, a Fallen Ninja for Basket. The monument isn't shown, so the count stays at 6 of 16 wools and 3 of 16 emerald blocks.
